I have an Epson V700 which I used to scan a mix of 2.25" square
and 35mm negatives and I also use as a general purpose scanner.
I've been very pleased with it over the years.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the point of digitizing negatives?

They're not digitised as negatives, the scanner software turns them
into normal positive images which you can then view on your PC,
tablet, TV, phone, etc.

Thanks. I looked into this a while back and was told that a scanner
couldn't make them positives; I'd need to have them developed first.
Has the technology advanced, or did I misunderstand?

I'm sure you can now get positives out of film negatives - not that I've
yet tried. Once I become less active , I've a lot to go through
